Emory Stands for Free Expression

The Leftists going nuts over #TheChalkening really need to chillax and remember the benefits of free speech. … Free speech is important on college campuses, even if it’s promoting something I personally disagree with. College is supposed to prepare students for “real life,” meaning they’ll face challenging and uncomfortable situations. There’s no reason to create … Read more

Before it was the Biden Rule it was the Byrd Rule

PJ Media In a speech on the Constitution’s “advise and consent” provisions to the Center for American Progress on April 25, 2005, Senator Byrd declared: There is no stipulation in the Constitution as to how the Senate is to express its advice or give its consent. President Bush incorrectly — incorrectly — maintains that each nominee for … Read more

Notable Quote – Leland Yeager, David Tuerck

The case for democracy is simply a case for making political decisions by one particular kind of rules rather than another; it is not a case for unnecessarily politicizing more and more aspects of life. This distinction unmasks the familiar demands for “democratizing” something or subjecting something to “democratic control,” which means government control. The … Read more

Here’s one of those “Good Guy with a Gun” that the Hoplophobes say doesn’t exist

Smoking gunHeh! (reformatted, emphasis mine)!

An armed citizen cornered armed robbers and told them, “My gun is bigger than yours.” According to Cleveland.com, police say two armed suspects, a 19-year-old Parma man and an 18-year-old Cleveland man, entered Suleyman’s Supermarket on Cleveland’s West Side just before 10 p.m. and demanded money.  The store owner gave the suspects around $300, and they turned to leave, only to see a police officer standing outside. Panicked, the two armed men ran through the store to exit in the back, but were stopped by a citizen with a gun.

Democracy Spring – MOBS disrupt, democracies reason

democracyspringUnless of course, you are using the language and definitions of the Left which at that point, democracy = mobs under the Left’s control.  And certainly, the Democracy Spring march, in which NH Rebellion is participating, is all that and more:

Washington, beware: Democracy Spring is officially on its way to “reclaim the People’s House.”

So declared Kai Newkirk, Democracy Spring’s campaign director, who spoke to Breitbart News on Saturday while the movement marched outside the city limits of Philadelphia. “We are going to disrupt business as usual until our demands are reached,” stated Newkirk.

The coalition of far-left groups plotting mass civil disobedience, with thousands pledging to risk arrest, launched its operation on Saturday at Liberty Bell in Philadelphia’s Independence Mall.

Now, let’s go back in time when the TEA Party rallies started –

NH’s very own Vermin Supreme!

But most of us have a fond (if chuckling) spot in our hearts for the “Boot on the Head” guy! (H/T: Liberal Logic 101)

Speech Can’t be Funded with Public Money Unless Money…is Speech.

Skip has been sounding the alarm on Democracy Spring, the latest (no-doubt well-funded) progressive-barbarian horde sent to pillage your constitutional rights.

But Justice Clarence Thomas, quoted here in Luis v. United States, also makes a case (IMO) for WHY the progressive left’s get-“outside”-money-out-of-elections fraud would violate those rights (emphasis, mine).

Constitutional rights protect the necessary prerequisites for their exercise.

Data Point – Job Growth or Stagflation?

Take that 14.4 million job growth number. That sounds impressive doesn’t it? But that job growth is stretched over almost six full years, during which time the working age population grew by 15.8 million.  In that respect, we’ve lost ground on jobs under Obama. “What’s more, that 14.4 million increase in jobs is measured against … Read more

Upside For Asset Forfeiture Reform after Luis v. United States

Supreme_Court_Building_at_Dusk

The Supreme Court decision in Luis v. United States addresses the governments ability to seize assets from a suspect that cannot be connected to the case and specifically, that the pretrial restraint of a criminal defendant’s legitimate, untainted assets needed to retain her counsel of choice violates the Sixth Amendment.

Justice Breyer, in a 5-3 decision, wrote that,

The government can seize, …, “a robber’s loot, a drug seller’s cocaine, a burglar’s tools, or other property associated with the planning, implementing, or concealing of a crime.”

But it cannot, he said, freeze money or other assets unconnected to the crime.

Corey Lewandowski

I have known Corey Lewandowski for about twelve years or more. In that time I have never known him to be a person who would viciously attack anyone, let alone some female reporter in a public forum. Nor would I imagine he would jeopardize any cause or candidate he was working for by doing so. Corey isn’t stupid by any means. So I am giving Corey the benefit of the doubt.

Being a blogger who is not particularly a Trump supporter but someone who lives in NH and has seen more than my share of a media frenzy, I thought I would take a look at some facts and info from other sources starting with the first thing I heard about this on Glen Beck’s program where Corey was accused of attempting to pull this reporter to the ground. Now we have video, lots of video.

Reddy v. Foster Thrown out for Lack of Standing

With a SCOTUS ruling due on the legality of a buffer zone around abortion clinics in Massachusetts the New Hampshire Legislature passed their own in to law anyway. Before the ink was dry the Supreme Court ruled the Massachusetts law unconstitutional. Alliance Defending Freedom secured a court order blocking enforcement of the New Hampshire law, placing … Read more

Apocalypse Called Off – Seas Not Cooperating

Sea level rises and falls acording to El NinosThe impending doom of the Marshall Islands, which alarmists predicted were destined to drown in short-order thanks to uncontrolled anthropogenic sea-level rise, has been called off. You may have missed that update. You can blame the lack of mainstream media reporting on the rapid decline in sea level around the no longer doomed poster-child atoll of Kwajalein. That’s not news you can use.

Proving the ‘Grok’s point: NH Rebellion to join with over 100 Leftist / Socialist groups for a civil disobedience march

NH Rebellion LogoDSA Logo2The ‘Grok has written about NH Rebellion on a number of occasions – this post is due to getting a Presser from them AND the Democrat Socialists of America (NH Rebellion’s Many Progressive Bedfellows, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here).

You’ve seen the Leftist protesters at the Trump rallies and they have said they will be targeting other Republicans and the Republican Convention – anyone my age or older remembers Chicago ’68 when the same type of folks tried to force the Democrats to their will. Not exactly non-violent, was it?  So now the NH Rebellion has decided that it is going to participate in a march with these folks – their Presser is after the jump – and it is clear from reading the Leftist sites that the NH Rebellion is whitewashing what is about to happen.

Trump team uses Clinton tactics: Victimize the victim

clintontrumpvictim

Yesterday it was reported that because Buzzfeed and Fox News “inadvertently” kept reporterMichelle Fields’ address and phone number in the police report they posted that she had to temporarily leave her home due to threats she was getting. Fields is the reporter who is at the center of “LYINdowskiGate” where Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was accused of grabbing her away from Trump in the midst of asking a question about Affirmative Action after an event.

From the very beginning Lewandowski claimed nothing ever happened as did Trump. After pressure to report the incident to the local police, Fields did. Lewandowski was charged with simply battery just the other day because Trump’s own security video from his hotel showed that Lewandowski did indeed grab Fields and pull her back.
